Note the complete lack of ANY info, unless the point was to let me know what
my netblock was, which I was pretty familiar with before this. I
particularly enjoy the reference to the FBI and the attempt to scare me
here. Boy I am going to run out and get something done! Doesn't this guy
realize that he is dealing with a bussiness?

	Second E-mail, Note the time :

Subject: you loser


Probably frustrated with women so sit in a basement somewhere trying to hack
into other peoples computers. Loser

	Once again more useless info. Everyone Knows I sit in a basement
attempting to hack into other peoples computers :-). I have to wonder if
this is a sysadmin somewhere or just a nut job. <sarcasm> I must agree
though that one and a half hours after sending a message after bussiness
hours is plenty of time to allow for a response. </sarcasm>
